Triumph Unveils Trident 660 Special Edition: A Tribute to Triple Engine Legacy
Triumph has once again captured the hearts of enthusiasts with the launch of the Trident Triple Tribute Special Edition. This striking new model features a dynamic graphic scheme and Triumph Shift-Assist as standard, offering a blend of style and performance that is sure to appeal to both new and seasoned riders alike.
Named the Trident Triple Tribute, this exclusive edition celebrates Triumph’s legendary triple engines and will be available for one year only.
Since its launch in 2020, the Trident 660 has been a game-changer in the middle-weight roadster category, selling over 35,600 units worldwide. It has successfully attracted a new generation of riders to the Triumph family, thanks to its triple engine performance and premium features at an attractive price point.
The Trident Triple Tribute boasts a modern design inspired by Triumph’s iconic ‘white, blue, and red’ racing scheme, with a contemporary twist. The striking graphic scheme pays homage to ‘Slippery Sam,’ the most celebrated Triumph triple bike of all time, which made history by winning five TT production races consecutively from 1971 to 1975.
The Trident 660 features a distinctive tank design with the number 67 race graphic, surrounding the signature knee cut-outs, giving it a unique and aggressive look.
In addition to its eye-catching design, the Trident Triple Tribute is equipped with Triumph Shift Assist, adding to its impressive list of features. This quickshifter enables clutchless gear changes up and down the ratios, with an autoblipper on downshifts for seamless transitions.
The bike also features a dedicated Trident-tuned 660cc triple engine, delivering 81 PS peak power @ 10,250 rpm and 64 Nm peak torque @ 6,250 rpm, ensuring an exhilarating ride every time.
When it comes to handling, the Trident 660 is in a class of its own. With a low wet weight of 189kg and an agile chassis, it offers exceptional control and confidence on the road. The bike features high-spec equipment including black Showa upside-down forks, Showa preload-adjustable monoshock RSU with linkage, and two-piston Nissin brakes with twin 310mm discs, ensuring great stopping power and stability.
With a starting price of £7,895 in the UK, the Trident Triple Tribute offers exceptional value for money, considering its performance, features, and exclusivity.
Customers can find out more about the Trident Triple Tribute and place an order with their local Triumph dealer, with bikes arriving in dealerships from April 2024.
